Water leaking in from Fieldstone Foundation

Robert P.

Posted

There is a corner of my house that is leaking in some water (see picture)

I had a company come take a look and they want to charge ~$2,700 to install a sump pump and about 15 feet of french drain. 

My question to you is, does this sound reasonable for the amount of water already coming in? Or, should I simply try and re-point the foundation myself (in that corner area) and see if that solves the problem first?

Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!

People love to jump to the conclusion of major waterproofing the foundation and or adding a sumo pump and French drain. From
My experience that is very rarely needed
